Joshua 19:32-51 ▼

32 The sixth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Naphtali (wrestling):

33 Their border started at Heleph (exchange) and the great tree (oak) of Zaanannim (removings), passing Adami-nekeb (man of Adar) and Jabneel (God causes to build) as far as Lakkum (fortification) and ending at the Jordan (flowing down).

34 Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor (peaks of Tabor) and ran from there to Hukkok (appointed), touching Zebulun (exalted) on the south side, Asher (happy) on the west, and Judah (praised) at the Jordan [west, and the Jordan] on the east.

35 The fortified cities were Ziddim (the declivities), Zer (flint), Hammath (hot spring), Rakkath (shore), Chinnereth (harps),

36 Adamah (the earth), Ramah (hill), Hazor (castle),

37 Kedesh (holy place), Edrei (good pasture), En-hazor (fount of Hazor),

38 Iron (fearing), Migdal-el (tower of God), Horem (sacred), Beth-anath (house of affliction), and Beth-shemesh (house of the sun). There were nineteen cities, along with their villages.

39 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Naphtali (wrestling), including these cities and their villages.

40 The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan (He has judged):

41 The territory of their inheritance included Zorah (hornet), Eshtaol (entreaty), Ir-shemesh (city of the sun-god),

42 Shaalabbin (place of foxes), Aijalon (field of deer), Ithlah (he hangs),

43 Elon (mighty), Timnah (portion), Ekron (torn up by the roots),

44 Eltekeh (let God spew you out), Gibbethon (mound), Baalath (mistress),

45 Jehud (beauty), Bene-berak (sons of lightning), Gath-rimmon (winepress of the pomegranate),

46 Me-jarkon (waters of yellowness), and Rakkon (the temple), including the territory across from Joppa (beautiful).

47 (Later, when the territory of the Danites (He has judged) was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem (precious stone), captured it, and put it to the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.)

48 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan (He has judged), including these cities and their villages.

49 When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites (God prevails) gave Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity) an inheritance among them,

50 as the LORD {YHWH} had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah (Timnath-heres) in the hill country of Ephraim (doubly fruitful), as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

51 These are the inheritances that Eleazar (God has helped) the priest, Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity), and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel (he wrestles with God) at Shiloh (place of rest) before the LORD {YHWH} at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
